GINQ_LINE_COLR_ind(3NCARG)

✨ GINQ_LINE_COLR_ind ✨ (a.k.a. the NCAR GRAPHICS girlies' guide)

okay so bestie, welcome to the NCAR Graphics manual page for ginq_line_colr_ind — she lives in section 3NCARG and she is literally here to answer one (1) question for you: what color index is my polyline using rn? 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ginq_line_colr_ind — Inquire polyline color index — gets the polyline color index. that's it. that's the whole job. she's an inquirer, not a setter, know the difference bestie 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <ncarg/gks.h>

void ginq_line_colr_ind(Gint *err_ind, Gint *line_colr_ind);

two pointers, both Gint *, both output. the way that she just fills them in for you and gives you nothing back… main character energy fr fr 👑

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

• err_ind — (Output) if the value you asked for can't be returned correctly, she hands you a non-zero error indicator in err_ind. if everything's chill? you get a zero. and like, if you wanna know what any of those error indicators actually mean, go consult the "User's Guide for NCAR GKS-0A Graphics" — she's not gonna explain it here, that's a different page's problem 😭
• line_colr_ind — (Output) returns the polyline color index, either as it was set by default or as it was set by a call to gset_line_colr_ind. so basically whatever the vibe currently is, that's what you get back 🫶

ngl there is a typo in the original that says "as set by default of by a call to" — im keeping the facts, not the typo. the meaning is: default, or whatever gset_line_colr_ind last set it to. no cap.

🌈 ACCESS 🌈

to use the GKS C-binding routines, you gotta load up the ncarg_gks and ncarg_c libraries. both of them. don't skip one and then come crying to me when it doesn't link, bestie, i will simply say i told you so 💀

and that's the whole page, bestie!! this one dropped back in March 1993 on UNIX (under the NCAR GRAPHICS umbrella, section 3NCARG), and she has been quietly answering "what color is my line tho" ever since. obsessed. go check your color indices, slay, periodt 💜✨🎀
